In the picturesque town of Winter Grove, the tenacious Alicia Whittaker faces off against her best friend's snobbish brother, Zeke Brighton, when his disapproval of his sister's boyfriend threatens to upend their Christmas.
--
Tenacious college student Alicia Whittaker wants this Christmas to be the best, especially since it's her last holiday season with her best friend Celeste in Winter Grove. But Celeste's domineering older brother threatens their happy holiday plans when he vocally disapproves of Celeste's beloved boyfriend, Sterling. Unwilling to sit by and let him ruin their Christmas, Alicia is determined to change Celeste's brother's mind... and heart.
Discerning and domineering, Zeke Brighton only wants the best--for himself, his family, and his baby sister Celeste. But when he's introduced to Celeste's new beau, Sterling, Zeke is far from impressed. He believes his brilliant little sister is wasting her potential with a low-class bartender, and he is determined to open her eyes. He won't let anyone get in his way... certainly not his sister's charming best friend.
--
This is book 2 of the Winter Grove Christmas Series, though it can be read as a standalone.

Holding Back [COMPLETED]
"I love how this book is turning out!😍 Not cliche at all!" - i_hatecliche "We might live next door to each other," Haley said, "but we don't live in the same world." Hooking her fingers around her backpack straps, she walked away from Jace. She had barely gone a few steps before he was at her side again. "What makes you believe we don't live in the same world?" he asked. "As far as I can tell, we do." "No, we don't. I'm...me and you're Jace Cortez. The dream of every girl. The friend to every guy. The star of the school. Girls. Sports. You're the ultimate player." "It sounds like you have a preconceived notion of who I am." "And it's one that has yet to be proven wrong." From books and a lifetime of sitting on the sidelines, Haley is convinced she knows how the world works, specifically high school. Everyone has a label and a box they fit in. This knowledge, paired with parents who are fighting, a brother leaving soon for college and a best friend who moved away has made her decide to never get involved. It will take being forced to work with her fellow juniors on a project, a boy next door with a infectious smile, a star gazer with an adorable puppy, and an unlikely pair of fangirls to make her see how truly wrong she was about everything. "IT'S NOT CLICHÉ!!!" - Moria987 "This is the reason y I keep coming back to this book...It's simply a breathtaking journey" - mariyamsajorawala "I don't usually comment but this is one of the best books I've read here.
